Recipe reminder and storage

Recipe tips: For these PB balls, please remember these tips…

  • Peanut Butter: Since peanut butter is used as a binder in the recipe, I will avoid using natural peanut butter and stick to ordinary butters such as Jif or Skippy
  • Make them even: To make each ball the same size, I only used a cookie scoop.
  • Freeze the peanut butter balls before soaking them. This will help them maintain their shape and the candy coating will harden faster.
